hey it's free TO GET IN!
Join us October 1st in Chicago's Lincoln Park for Cultivate, a festival that brings together food, farmers, chefs, thought leaders, and musicians.

FOOD MAKES THE PARTY

The Chipotle chefs have been hard at work creating new recipes just for Cultivate. Each dish will be designed around fresh, responsibly grown ingredients from local farms. Chipotle restaurants in the Chicagoland area source oregano, jalapeños and bell peppers from Degroot's Vegetable Farms, The Herbal Garden, and Harmony Valley Farm. This is just some of the great produce featured in the dishes below. The proceeds from the food sales will benefit familyfarmed.org.

Carnitas

with green-tomatillo salsa, pickled onion and cabbage, and queso fresco

CHICKEN/STEAK

with roasted tomato salsa, grilled veggies, and shredded cheese

POZOLE

Vegetarian soup with shredded cheese and crispy tortilla strips

BARBACOA

with bell and poblano peppers, sour cream, and crispy tortilla strips
